Broccoli Stem Fries!

Broccoli Stem Fries-serves 2

-A tasty and low-waste recipe for utilizing your organic broccoli stems!

Ingredients:

  • 3 broccoli stems, peeled

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup unsweetened oat milk

  • ¾ cup seasoned panko *we used Edward & Sons Italian Panko

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp garlic pepper

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel the broccoli stems to completely remove the tough outer edge. Cut into “french fry” shaped strips.

  • Mix the flour with the oat milk in one bowl, and put the panko crumbs in a second bowl. 

  • Take one broccoli stem at a time, coat with the flour and milk mixture, and then dip in the breadcrumbs. Place on the lined baking sheet, and repeat with all of the broccoli. 

  • Bake until the stem fries are crispy, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and garlic pepper to taste and serve with a dipping sauce of your choice! *we served with the Café’s Spicy Southwest Sauce. YUM!
